Depends on where the Bison party is at that weekend. Heck, I may even get a downtown hotel that weekend if there are downtown parties that weekend.Quote:

personally if I were most of you, I'd stay downtown minneapolis, it was a blast 3 years ago walking from bar to bar seeing all NDSU colors/hats!!
otherwise, Dinkytown would be fun, but not much there at Night (unless you goto 7 corners area across the river)
You're probably right, but if realistic things fall into place we could top 15k in my honest opinion. The new coach enthusiasm only goes somewhere once there are results. Right now this is a team which lost to USD and NIU at home last year. Even if you live in MN and are enthused you may as well watch them play Nebraska, Iowa, or Wisconsin so if nothing else you see a big time team.Quote:

That scenario could push us into the 20k range. I doubt they come in winless, but before us they are at USC and then have a very underrated match up against a damn good Miami OH team. Those could both be losses even if MN is improved quite a bit and that boosts supply for tickets.
after hometown boy Lane Kiffen runs up a 45-0 on U of Minn the week before, the ticket floodgate will open!
That'l do it!Quote:

Hell ya, 6 months away and ndsu players are pumped for this. Grant wants.this to be a.home game, let's fill it up for our boys !!!!!
I'm new here and to this kind of interaction, but it makes me a little uncomfortable that a player is sending direct messages to anonymous fans. Seems kind of creepy in a way.
hahahaha cute! this isnt 2007 and kill has started a buzz around the gophers. there is no way there is more than 5-10,000 bison fans. if this was to be played at the metrodump i would bet 30-40000 bison fans but this time around there wont be much green and yellow.Quote:

Shit, it felt like there were 5k at Iowa State, and that was a road trip for virtually everyone. Not only is MSP an easy trip to/from Fargo (i've done a few day trips to Fargo for games), but there are probably a lot more recent alums living in MSP than in Fargo.
i think ndsu will have about 8000 fans. not much more probably no less. you guys have a great fanbase. i just dont believe there are many wins on our schedulethis season(in the eyes of the fans) and gopher fans wont miss games that we should win and this is a game we should win.Quote:
